Risk is a business issue, NOT an IT issue…!

Risk tolerance or “appetite” to drive a car

Residual Risk3

Anti-lock brakes, hornBreak Lights, hazard light, turn signals

Mitigating practices for lowering risk2

Driving a car is dangerous

“Inherent Risk”1

Business Continuity is a fancy term for resiliency against financial and operational risk

We cannot eliminate all risk, but we can take preventative measures to strengthen our immunity against risk.

Does your business continuity planning = your “residual” or tolerance for risk? Do you know?

Solution: a business-focused Business Continuity Planning strategy

Source: Disaster Recovery Journal preparedness survey

Problem: under increased pressures

Why Business Continuity Planning?

Outdated plans, call lists, interdepartmental dependencies—wastes time and effort and places a strain on planners, other personnel

Data dependencies, system complexity3

You can’t plan without knowing your business and risks, and most organizations lack experience in estimating both their likelihood and

their consequences

Financial & Operational Risk2

80% organizations had to provide proof of BC readiness at least once—but sometimes more—external parties in the past 12 months*

Compliance1

MS Word is NOT the answer to BC planning

Plans from various business units should be consolidated to provide a corporate, global, enterprise BCP plan• No way to do this with MS Word• Specialized planning solutions provide for the development of an organizational

plan hierarchy for summarization and drill down BCP plans are dynamic, constantly changing & need to be updated regularly

• Extremely difficult and time consuming to continually update information in MS Word

• Employee changes, company structural reorganizations, application changes• Need the power and flexibility of a BC plan built on a relational database• A non web-based word doc may not be securely accessible over the Internet

Page 5: Why SunGard for Business Continuity Management Software

Sharepoint or “Do-It-Yourself” is NOT the answer to BCP

DIY is not cost-free! No built-in logic, intelligence or best practices methodology

• DIY methodology requires organizations to build content on their own. SunGard offers relevant, built-in content in the CMS, such as BIA surveys, assessment surveys and plan navigator templates.

• SunGard offers unlimited, free training, 24/7 support, and large user networkNot a relational database = no integration between modules

• SunGard CMS offers easy updates to push throughout the system and update content in all areas where it is referenced. Static information will require many changes to the same piece of information, wasting time and compromising data integrity.

Limited scalability, flexibility• If version changes to SharePoint, the BCMP tool would need to be updated to

accommodate newer versionLimited remote access capabilities

• In the event of a disaster, you will need to access recovery plans remotely and securely, not from an internal production network

• SunGard can host CMS for you, saving time in maintenance effort, capital investment $$ and making your solution secure and available remotely.
